Linkreliability is a significant issue for free space optical links.Inclement weather, such as fog, can seriously reduce the transmissionof light through the atmosphere. However, this effect, for sometypes of fog, is wavelength-dependent. In order to improve linkavailability in both metro and hostile environments, mid- and far-wavelengthinfrared diode lasers can be of use. This paper willdiscuss some of the recent advances in high-power, uncooled quantumcascade lasers and their potential for use in long rangeand/or highly reliable free space communication links.
